Spewpa (Japanese: コフーライ Kofuurai) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves from Scatterbug starting at level 9 and evolves into Vivillon starting at level 12. Scatterbug and Spewpa each have 20 visually indistinct forms that determine the form of Vivillon they evolve into.

Biology

Spewpa is small, cocoon-like Pokémon mostly hidden by sharp white fur with square particles of red, black, and pale yellow in and around the fur. Poking out of the top of its fur is its large, round head. The head is light gray in the back with a darker gray face. There is a beige dot over each eye and the face is bisected by a thin, black line that ends in a beige triangle at the top of the head. Its eyes are also beige with square, black pupils.

In order to defend itself from predators such as Rufflet, Spewpa will bristle its fur or spray a poisonous black powder. Spewpa is a nomadic Pokémon, travelling across fields and mountains while building up energy for it to evolve. However, it generally inhabits the shadows of thickets.

Evolution

Spewpa evolves from Scatterbug and evolves into Vivillon.

Form data

Scatterbug and Spewpa each have 20 forms internally, one for each Vivillon pattern. This determines the form of Vivillon they will eventually evolve into, and is determined when they are first generated; for Eggs, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents.

In Generation VI and Generation VII, its internal form depends on which geographic location the user specified on the Nintendo 3DS at the time the save file was created. Due to region locking, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, all hatched Scatterbug will evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, regardless of Postcard effects. Scatterbug and Spewpa caught with a Postcard active will evolve into the pattern of Vivillon corresponding to the Postcard. If a Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like Pokémon GO, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

Major appearances

Multiple Spewpa appeared in To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!, all of which had earlier evolved from Scatterbug, including one of them that Ash and his friends helped out. One of the Spewpa later evolved into a Vivillon while battling with Dolan's Diggersby, and the rest evolved afterwards.

Six Spewpa appeared in Seeing the Forest for the Trees! in the Winding Woods. Ash and Greninja had to save them from freezing in a blizzard, and later ended up saving one of the Spewpa from falling off a cliff. This helped them to master the Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, they all evolved into Meadow Pattern Vivillon. Two of them reappeared in a flashback in Facing the Needs of the Many!, Till We Compete Again!, and Catching the Aura of Fate! as Spewpa.

Minor appearances

Spewpa debuted in Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!.

Three Spewpa appeared in Adventures in Running Errands!, all under the ownership of a Trainer.

A Trainer's Spewpa appeared in The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!.

Two Spewpa were used by the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief in Pangoro Poses a Problem, to stop X from protecting Alexa. With their Rage Powder, the Spewpa prevented X's Marisso and Salamè from listening to X's commands. Eventually, both were defeated, but X's Pokémon were left exhausted afterward.

PAL: Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon. This Bug-type Pokémon can harden its body to protect against attacks. In this game, it might bristle up and paralyse you with Stun Spore. "How ever can I avoid such a terrible fate?", you ask? Just leave it alone. Don't mess with Spewpa, and Spewpa won't mess with you.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Spewpa returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.

Trivia

• Spewpa and its evolutionary relatives are the only:
  • Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
  • Generation VI Pokémon in the Bug Egg Group.
• Spewpa is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 213.
• Spewpa can learn Iron Defense from a Move Tutor, but its evolution, Vivillon, cannot.
• Spewpa and its pre-evolved form, Scatterbug, are the only black Bug-type Pokémon.

Origin

Spewpa is likely based on the larval forms of certain members of the Tineidae family, such as the carpet moth and case-bearing clothes moth, which construct snug cases of fibres and hairs that leave their heads exposed. The square powder on Spewpa's body might be based on confetti or screen pixels.

Considering its evolutionary relatives, Spewpa may also represent a generic pupa of a moth or butterfly, particularly silkworm cocoons. The way it uses its hairs to protect itself from predation may be a reference to the urticating hairs of some caterpillars that are incorporated into their cocoons for protection.

Name origin

Spewpa may be a combination of spew and pupa.

Kofuurai may be a combination of 小 ko (small) or 粉 ko (powder) and 風来人 furaijin (wanderer).
